- Spoiler alert: No, it's not. Our audience seems to prefer Elon's electric SUV and -- after TWO of our editors had issues with the charging port being stuck -- we're inclined to agree. The E-Tron has its merits and is still worth exploring, however. On this episode of Everyone's a Critic, Roadshow responds to your questions and comments about the 2020 Audi E-Tron.
Written and Presented by Emme Hall and Antuan Goodwin
Produced by Marc Ganley
I own a Tesla Model S and I recently checked out an Audi E-Tron cuz my mom was looking for a new SUV. We test drove a Model X first and then we got into an E-Tron. The E-Tron is on another level when it comes to comfortability, ride, and fit and finish. It's amazing. I love Tesla, but the E-Tron is a fantastic car. My mom went with an Audi Q5 btw.
Buying 2 cars (1 EV + 1 ICE) is crazy !!
Just rent an ICE car on long holiday trips (Thanksgiving or Christmas)
Max 2 times per year.
People are allowed to own an ICE car if they want, it's a FREE world .
Aerodynamically the Audi is not built for efficiency with that big Grill in front! We want electric vehicles with more range not less.
I love my Audi etron. I have had the Audi for 6 months and never had a problem with a stuck charger hose. Also, I drove from Oregon to CA and never had a problem with finding charging stations. Always high speed - Electrify America, EV go, and Charge Points. I don’t think you need two cars (although we have one ICE car). Normally, it costs $6 or so to fill up to 80%. I paid $20 for a round trip to CA (about 1,300 miles) with free electrify America used on 4 stations. I used the other brands on 4 stations.
And the charging speed is?
Wirmish the charging speed was between 50 to 150 kWh. Electrify America always 150. Some of the Charge Point of EvGo was about 50 kWh. 10 to 100 charge at EA less than 1 hour. Most of the time was between 80-100% charge. Which normally took 15-20 minutes. 10-80% about 30-40 minutes.
Do u have to paid for software updates? I heard you get two for free but subsequent updates dealerships charge you for updates
Duke tlam I do not have to pay for updates. However, they are not over the air. You have to bring the car into Audi service.
@@theodoron go to know. Thanks
I have driven an Audi etron 55 for 5 months. Never had a problem with stuck charger. I charge 95 % at home. At charge station it charges fast (150kw).
It is the most comfortable car I have ever driven, and I have driven many, both ICE and EV’s. Super quiet and smooth with great AWD. It excels in winter climate. Shorter range than I would wish for, but still not an issue for me.
Ps. I have no financial interest in Audi.
There’s these companies out there that “rent” cars. Avis, Hertz, etc. no need for a second car. What I save by charging at home, I could rent a car any time I want. Second car? No thanks.
most Couples have 1x Family car (SUV or Minivan) and a car for Dad (Sedan).
you are Wrong about Charging.
you Plug in your EV when you get home, it can Fully Charge your EV in just 4 hours. you can even Program it to charge All Night Long SLOWLY and when you Wake up for Work the next day , you can have the EV pre heat the Batteries and Warm up the car , while you are having Coffee or showering.
the car Ready to leave and it has a Full Charge .
Besides sometime in 2020 TESLA will deploy its Robotaxi service, its going to Replace Rental car Agency and UBER/LYFT and regular Taxi.
8:10 And no, the reason they don’t sell as many isn’t because they just started selling them. It is simply an inferior vehicle,. It isn’t better than a Tesla in any way (other than some niceties in the interior).
Those ‘niceties’ ate what a lot of people want, I think for you money Tesla is really expensive and the interior is such a let down.
Audi's problem child suv. This woman is WAY out of touch with the real world if she thinks $12k is only gonna get you something from 1985. I regularly pass dealer lots with cars for sale for less than $10k that are only a few years old. Even high end cars plummet in price after just a few years.
Literally all you have to do to release the charger is press the button on the charge door. It’s written in the owners manual.
Yall have great chemistry very informative and entertaining. Keep up the great work!!!!
Best way to get impressions of a car, please do this format again and again
A Model Y will be perhaps the closest design to the e-Tron, but faster, longer range and much cheaper.
People will stop buying the Audi E-Tron once the Tesla Model Y comes out. Also, Tesla does need to increase it's supercharger network in those high traffic areas.
Yep. Better car with more range for $30,000 less? Comparable size but better UI, way more features, and a way better charging network? Hard to imagine why anyone will pick the Audi who does not work at Audi.
Superchargers have already started rolling out with v3, which will help a lot.
So... In 3 months! Awesome! Tesla has already done an incredible job with Superchargers. It's the only company that has addressed this need since 2013.
Tesla- we have 320 miles of range plus free super charging plus autopilot.
Ice lovers - that sucks only 310 miles plus I have to wait 30 min. Tesla sucks
When Audi and Porche build electric cars
Audi - we have 280 miles plus no free super charging
Porche - we have 210 miles plus fucked up charging efficiency
Ice lovers - Mmmm I don't need that much range plus look at the interior it's so pretty 😂 I am sold .
I hope these two are still reviewing cars together in 20 years so the show can morph into a Driving Miss Daisy parody. Emme has been in the game for a loooong time.
Long story short, Supercharger network is superior.
Charging cost is high because of how expensive Electrify America pricing models are, they charged by tier and speed. It's going to be illegal to be charged by the minute in California, so it could change in the future.
MQNguyen as more competition for DC Fast charging enters, the price will go down.
The charging cost makes no sense. You guys are doing something wrong. It's 30 minutes to 80 percent. Which is like 20 bucks.
Electrify America and others need to stop charging by the minute and instead charge by how much electricity you use. If they’re worried about people hogging charging stations they could put a 30 minute time limit on it.
@@mikemo17 That's not logical they are really a service it, and they make it time based so you leave when you are done.
I think Electrify America is increasingly looking like a scam. All the car makers are ganging together to show how expensive electrical cars are.
Better than Tesla? The sales number said otherwise.
You have to look at the sale numbers again
@@keinname1192 Tesla's sales number is even better now, a record breaking. The stock has reached all time high. IDK about other automakers, how they're doing?
In US yes, but in EU E-tron simply wipe the luxury 65K+ EV market (outselling X and S with big margin) for the last 2 years, and already a best selling EV in some European country. When charging infrastructure density is already fulfilled (like in EU), the next concern is not the range but the car itself (quietness, build quality, suspension, ride quality etc)
@6:00 Exactly. Charging stations are not as necessary as gas stations because you can always get electricity at home. You can't fill your gas tank at home.
I love this pairing!!!! More of this please! Thank you!!!
This video shouldve showed you charging and for how long and the cost.
That squirrel had a death wish!! Omg!
Hi Emme how is your Miata? I’m sorry I don’t have any comments about the Audi I know electric cars are coming but I’m not ready I have a 2016 MX5 and I can’t imagine an electric car being as much fun.
do u think it would be easier to add a charging "pump" to each gas station in the US? atleast 1 in each
NO, EV owner wants to Charge at a STINKY Fuel station.
@@markplott4820 EV owners want chargers. Wherever they can be placed
@@joseluislopes3956 - much MORE convenient to have Urban chargers at Existing light poles and Parking spaces.
Malls should have Charger DROIDS that will charge your EV no matter where you are Parked .
@@markplott4820 I didn't say otherwise. I said wherever they can be placed. I wouldn't say no to a charger because it is/used to be a gas station. How little minded do you have to be for that to bother you?
@@joseluislopes3956 - gas Stations will Quickly DIE and use the land for PARKS with EV charging.
The fact that ElectrifyAmerica charges by the minute is a little concerning to me. I’m interested to see what EA does around the US once the California laws take effect.
I thought EA was Already going to have to Charge by how much Energy you use (kWh). ?
Mark Plott as of today California is the only place I believe they have to charge by kWh. Currently they charge by the minute where I live and some EV owners walk away with a shock (no pun intended), when they see the price.
Charging by the minute should clearly be illegal (they can just give you less electricity to charge longer). Good for California.
It works out okay if the car you drive charges at the top of one of their pricing tiers. The people who get screwed are those who charge somewhere between the low end and a little below the top of the tier. For instance I drive a Chevy Bolt. My charging range is every car under 75kWh. My Bolt can only charge at 55kWh, so when I charge at EA I pay more $ per kWh than someone with a 75kWh vehicle.
Is it compatible with tesla charging station too?
I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about why electric car only have 300 miles of range and it take 1hr to fully charged 😕 given that ev only have real development in the past 10yrs where combustible engine is been around close to 100yrs in history. Give electric car another 5-10 yrs and you see range from 400+ to 600+ with powertrain that can last 1mil along with battery of 1mil also 🙉. Take a chill pill folks and enjoy the ride and stop complaining 😆😜.
Tesla only takes 30 mins for 80% charge
@@davedyer3654 Public perception still negative about charging electric for 30-min or 45-min so further development of charge time cut to min of 5min to 15min max 👍
Tesla Model S Long Range 2019: 370 miles
Tesla Cybertruck 2021: 500 miles
Tesla Semi 2021: 550 miles
Tesla Roadster 2021: 620 miles
The best EV is the one with the greatest range and the biggest charging network, up to now only one brand has both.
CNET, could you please get these people a charger at the office, please?
Is there a reason she inserted a vibrator at the start of the video? Does ETron have self driving....?
I work for an Audi dealer. One pet peeve with this car. When you let go of the accelerator the car doesnt move. Theres no coasting when you let go of the accelerator. So your foot is always on the petal or braking.
4 years later and the infrastructure has finally caught up!! Free L2 charging at my job & L2 at house makes driving the Etron great!!
You have to push the charger door bottom and the charger should release, that use the charger release lever on the handle.
At some point the charger plug should be unified. Personally I like Tesla simplicity but until it gets sorted out infrastructure is a close 2nd
America in the 1800's had Thousands of EV charging stations in all the BIG City's, there were no issues with compatability as there just a 120v plug and a knife switch.
you could even Swap your batteries at a Balcksmith shop .
Actually in Europe Tesla changed to CCS. So you can charge a European Model 3 at all CCS chargers in Europe. And Chademo is dying out (the current Nissan Leaf is the only "new" car with Chademo and everybody wonderd, why the ship it in Europe with Chademo). And for AC-charging, the Type 2 is mandatory by law, so European Teslas had a Type2 Plug from the beginning.
Great comments. I'm confused on how charging can cost $58 to charge an e-tron? In California the pass (no plan) pricing on Electrify America is a $1 session fee plus $0.99/min. But the e-tron can charge to 80% in just over 30mins. So in order to get a bill of $58 you need to sit at a charger for far too long to hit that. Also if you need DC charging often it would be worth it to get the pass+ plan. It costs $4 a month plus $0.70/min at an EA station. To get to 80% that would be $21. Which still isn't cheap but is certainly not as outrageous as some make it to be. Also we own a Bolt EV in Ontario, Canada. We also have a Volt (which is basically now a daily secondary commuter car). We drove our Bolt EV to Florida and back with no major issues. After owning our Bolt EV for two years it could easily be our only vehicle. I personally haven't come across a situation where we needed another gas car in two years and our family lives 125 miles from us.
The Nissan Leaf takes a lot of grief about no thermal management, an rightly so, but there charge port security was brilliant. A button on the dash ha three selections, Lock, Unlock, and Auto. The Lock and Unlock are self explanatory, but the Auto selection would lock the charge handle until charging was completed. Then the handle could be unplugged and allow the next person to charge, all without waiting for the first owner to return. Used this feature a lot. Left an eraser board on dash explaining how and approximately when the handle would be available. When we got our Model 3, I wondered how to secure the handle at a level 2 charger. Had to buy a small padlock to prevent the J1772 handle from being operated.
Well done Antuan. Charging nodes is a bit dumb, queuing up to charge your 90k model X when you can do so at home is daft. Decentralized charming is the key and the infrastructure (in the UK) isn’t great but it’s getting there. Home/office charging should suffice for 95% of your needs.
One more thing!... You can't really complain or wonder why your company is not EV friendly when it is an obligation of the employees to put in a request for EV chargers in the garage. At least the request will be documented. Also, please stick to this 2 person setup. You guys work well together. She represents the gear heads making room for change and he is the voice of reason. I love it.
Mirror benefit less than larger rear view increase from traditional mirrors. Lexus ES in Japan has them as well.
I have two cars, both going fully electric daily. Only charged at home to 1 Euro per 10 kWh. One of my cars is a chargeable hybrid (X5) and is used for long distance driving at high speeds. I never use a DC charger and use very little petrol per year.
I would rather have the Tesla over any of the new electric cars.
Electric cars need top shelf battery management systems something Audi doesn't have the years of experience in.
Agree, AUDI may have car Engineering down but very Little experience with Electricity and BMS.
Tesla being a new automaker tho, still has a lot to improve. Quality control is horrendous, tons of UA-cam videos of new teslas being delivered with horrendous and uneven panel gaps, bad paint... And the horror stories every "tesla youtuber" has with servicing their Tesla. Delays, missing cars, incomplete repairs or repeated repairs for the same problem
And if you compare their interior quality and materials, a e-tron or EQC costing less then a Model X with WAY better interior quality.
Tesla pioneered the EV industry, but if they don't improve they will be surpassed by the "classic" brands really quick
@@joseluislopes3956 , the Model X does cost more. It also has room for three more adults than the four adults the Audi can accommodate. Or 30 square feet more cargo space. Despite the much larger size of the X, it also goes further on a kWh of electricity, provides 46 more miles of range for the base model...and provides a UI and suite of features that the Audi cannot dream of.
When the actually comparable in size Tesla Model Y comes out early this year, starting at $30,000 less than the Audi e-Tron, then maybe you will understand who has been surpassed really quick here.
@@tribalypredisposed and until they improve the interior quality, materials, quality control, post-sale service, parts availability outside their very small network of service centers, it could have 3x more miles range, I will still take one from a "classic" brand with experience and proven reputation in the areas above
@@joseluislopes3956 Quality control at Tesla sucks because Elon Musk is letting it. Right now, they can get away with it. When it starts affecting their bottom line, they'll tighten up.
The comment that the cost per mile for home charging is less than gas refers to Time of Use rates. Not every utility offers such rates. In some areas, including mine, there is no discount for off-peak charging and rates are very high (my average cost at home is close to 24 cents per kilowatt hour). So the cost per mile is highly dependent on the local utility's rate structure.
I'm curious if this was the situation when the automobile first started becoming a thing. I imaging that there weren't many gas stations back then. But at that time, people didn't drive long distances, they took the train and almost every city and town had a train station.
@6:45 it's called a Chevy Volt
Totally agree with ya there!!!
In the UK, 42% of the population live in homes with no own driveway. And a significant proportion of those with no driveways do not have roadside parking, but live in estates and hi-rise, with car parks. In my city of Southampton [the famous UK port], which has some of the worst air quality in the UK due to the road layout, the amount of traffic, and the ships that dock and remain powered by their diesel auxiliary engines. Plus, we have an oil refinery [Fawley] to the SW, and the prevailing winds come from that direction. Yet the city council has no plans for residential chargers. We have a few situated in the city centre, with the odd one or two dotted around elsewhere. Frankly, it is utterly pathetic. No wonder the extent of EV buying in Southampton is relatively low. The people are ready, yet our city planners and policy makers are not.
Coming soon is a Tesla Service Centre in the city, thank goodness. It may wake our sleeping council up. Something has to, because I intend to buy an EV this year and I have no driveway.
really enjoyed this format to answer car review comments
I have to disagree with the comment that if you can only afford 1 car, you need to wait for the infrastructure to be there. Very few people have more than 2 or 3 road trips per year, and the vast majority put less than 40 miles a day on their cars. Considering that the 5 year ownership costs of a Telsa Model 3 is between $1000-2000 per year LESS than a Toyota Camry, you can use that extra cash to simply rent a car for those road trips. At an average cost of 60 bucks a day, you'd have to rent a car for 16 days just to hit $1000.00. Also keep in mind that the Toyota Camry has one of the lowest cost of ownership of all Gas powered vehicles! If you were considering buying almost anything else such as something in the same class as the Model 3 like the Mercedes C300 or Audi A4, the savings is even greater. As an example, I used to drive Toyota Sequoias, and after my kids moved out I kept thinking that I needed it for the 2 weeks a year we went on Road Trips. Later I realized it was just a giant waste of money, so now we downsized to a smaller car and when we take our Road Trips, we head over to Avis and get a Suburban or something for the week. There's no need to keep a Gas Guzzler for a purpose that only lasts a few days a year that's just crazy. For the same reasons, when its time to trade our current cars, we're switching to the Model 3 for one and possibly the Model Y for the other one. Again, if we need to take an extended trip, we can always rent and not worry.
I really wanted to ask what is that watch he's wearing. Looks nice
The statement of relying on your home's charger is where this falls short, since not everyone owns their home. How can we make the future of electric vehicles practical for renters (i.e.: apartment dwellers)? This idea of waiting until you get home will never happen, as long as my apartment complex chooses to not install a charging station or have a plug conveniently located in the multi-level garage somewhere. So in order for this to be a solution to just ignore the broken down charging stations and not worry about the gas cars parking in the charging bays has to change if we want this to become a viable solution for the near future. Also, we need the government to get behind this, and all auto manufacturers (including Tesla) to have one charging standard. We have this for gas cars. I don't have to hunt for a gas station that only has my type of connector to fill up the tank. I can go to any of them that supports the octane my car needs and fill up without any hassle, or any problem with the connector getting stuck. Basically, this is so beta, and only the homeowners that have $58 to waste on a road trip (or can expense it) is going to get on board with this. The current gas prices at $2.03/gal in my area can fill up my tank three times for that one quick charge cost.
Where I live, Kansas City, MO there are suburban apartment complexes that have L2 charges in their parking lots. Downtown there are high rise apartments/condos that have L2 chargers in their garages. The city itself installed streetside L2 chargers in a few spots downtown that are completely free for anyone to use (no charge for the electricity at this point). In addition, many office parks around our city have L2 chargers. The office park I work at has roughly 35 L2 chargers sprinkled around the various parking lots. Obviously each person's situation may or may not make it viable, but if there are L2 chargers at your work, or very close by then you could easily live in an apartment with no chargers and just charge during the day while at work. But yes, for a not insignificant amount of apartment dwellers they may not have chargers near where they work nor where they live.
All charging station are for profit, that is why they cost more than gas stations.
Great episode! Please do more videos like this one, thanks
I think Electrify America is increasingly looking like a scam. All the car makers are ganging together to show how expensive electrical cars are.
I drive a model X in china, where 99% of people live in towers and can't get their own chargers at home. Many have to use the superchargers as their primary means of charging.
I really like the hoodie Antuane ( I hope that’s spelled right) is wearing. It’s from Luke Cage on Netflix. Are you a big Marvel fan?
As Long as Tesla have the best charging infrastructure - (250 chargers especially) never mind the "free supercharging" they can reduce the cost and keep their ownership happy whilst making a reasonable profit, especially if they get the sustainable sourcing better than all the others.
First world problems. It’s incredible they talk about having 1 petrol car and 1 electric car as their daily runabout. When you buy 2 cars, are you really environmentally conscious?
MrRedhondabadge widespread EV adoption will never happen because of the environment, as much as we would hope that to be true, it will never happen. In the current early adopter EV market we are in, this is the only way to be practical from a time standpoint if you drive long distances a lot. Once a manufacturer comes out with a 4-500 mile range car that uses the electrify America 350kw charging, you will only need one car. We’re just not there yet.
Couples usually have 1x Family vehicle and 1 Sedan , not too bad Actually IF both cars are BEV or 1x Hybrid car.
We have two Model 3’s so both the wife and daughter are in the safest cars they can be. Made the decision to buy the second one after the first Model 3 took evasive action to keep my daughter out of a serious accident.
@@39dwc You don't need hundreds of miles of range, you just need a plug-in hybrid. 50 miles range (or however much you need on the daily) and also an engine. Range = irrelevant for long trips. Fast charging? Not necessary at all.
What's that thing under steering wheel?
As a long time Audi driver in the market for an EV .. I love the Audi e-Tron Premium, it's a lovely car, offering great ride quality and beautiful interior - but it's stupidly over priced with too many compromises. The exterior design I love it, but a lot of shiny plastic that will scratch up quickly, and don't get me started on the side mirror camera screens - they are awkwardly placed. The Tesla Model Y Performance is $20,000 cheaper, significantly faster, amazing to drive with vastly superior tech. Long time Audi owner switching to Tesla.
Tesla Superchargers in other states are rarely overcrowded except along the interstate during a holiday. Usually there are only 1 or 2 other cars at most when I've traveled. California is unique in this regard, partly because there are so many Teslas and so many Tesla owners who use free supercharging for local driving. They should charge at home unless of course they live in an apartment without that capability. Of course California has more superchargers than any other state as well to accommodate all the Tesla owners. It's really a matter of Supercharger etiquette. Locals should NOT be using supercharges on Holiday weekends!!!!
When i can fully charge it everywhere like gas stations on maximum 20 minutes i will buy on instant...
Glad to see roadshow doing more shows on EVs. we need everyone to buy more EV for our future. Unfortunately, for price, range, performance, over air updates, Tesla is by far ahead of everyone. Basically you pay 2X for a car that is INFERIOR on one or more major features (range, performance, software)
The issue is most people don't have a way to charge at home--the majority of Americans live in apartments or don't have a garage. I don't think his argument that the goal is that you have a level 2 charger at home is valid. Electric cars should be for everyone even those who can't charge at home and the charger infrastructure needs to be in place to meet the demand.
Good work!
I think regular hybrids and plug-in hybrids are still the best option for most people.
Battery EVs (and hydrogel fuel cell EVs) still have long ways to go before they can replace ICE cars.
That's kinda like the "electibility" argument in politics.
Consumers can't be afraid of electric if they are informed consumers. Hybrid and PHEVs are grand - but they way they have been advertised (by not needing to plug in, just jump in the carpool lane) is more counter intuitive.
The single-motor German and Swedish luxury PHEVs are not very good at blending efficiencies. And most owners of these cars have kids and may not be interested in plugging in then they are of having the prestigious badges.
Spoken like a person with NO experience with EV’s.
So I kind of disagree with needing Level 2 at the office. Here is my thinking. You should be looking at topping off st work, just replace a bit of what you used to get to work. A level at 13 amps should give you 20 miles in an 8 hr day. Not full, but should get you where you need to go
Tesla lineup at SuperChargers happens like twice a year, but you are implying it's like that every single day. You also conveniently omitted the fact Tesla now provide MegaPack mobile chargers to offset those problems at the busiest superchargers + they are releasing more and more V3 250Kw stations to also mitigate that problem.
To “stick shifter” comment ...Audi did it right. Completely intuitive the way they designed it.
Plug stuck - i have an i-pace and we need to lock and then unlock the car to get the plug out. It is locked into the port when charging for security. I spent a half hour the first time getting it out.
In the case of Etron, it is a software bug, not a user error.
Very informative video. It’s the first time I’ve come across your channel. Emme, you have an amazing resemblance to Jamie Lee Curtis !!
It sounds like more SC's need to be installed, there needs to be as many SC's as there are gas stations.
Actually, no as the vast majority charge at home, at work or at the shopping mall. All impossible to do with petrol.
@@UTUBESUCK666 Did you see the lines for the SC's?
I have a Model 3 since April 2019. Found a 220V window a/c outlet in the room over the garage. Ordered the Tesla adapter for that specific outlet and I get 15 miles per hour of charging. If I drive 50 miles in a day I need to charge for 3.5 hours overnight. No problem! You all spent a lot of time discussing level 2 chargers. I've never used one and have no current plans to install one. I live in LA.
Stephen Arlo Upchurch I took charge my model 3 at home but I would check your breaker for that line. If you have a 40 amp sms the proper wiring then you can install a nema 6-50 plug and get 31mph charging, so you don’t have to wait so long. I did and was so glad I switched it out, especially now that we just got our second model 3 yesterday!
@@trancetechkid Thanks for pointing that out! I'm going to look into the wiring and outlet. Congrats on your number 2 Model 3!
Problem with this view is that MOST Americans RENT or live in urban metros with multi-family/apartment units. MOST Americans don't have the luxury of plugging in every night...
Jahmorly Reynolds yeah renting leaves you little ability to charge at home. At that point you’d be relying on public chargers. Good thing is you definitely don’t have to plug in “every night” I’ve heard that kind of thing from a lot of people and I’m beginning to think folks are under the impression you have to charge these cars every day. I charge one a week, usually Sunday night, or off my solar panels during the day. That does me fine for the week w a 30mile daily commute.
Hey Guys
Did U report this Information to CNBC, ABC, & CBS, concerning the issues with this 100k luxury EV:
1) 200 miles range barely
2) Odd gear shifter
3) charger port issues
4) 2012 Model S = 265 mile range
5) 2010 Roadster = 245 mile range
WOW if Tesla did this, it would B on all the major news channels for months. Funny world we live N huh?🤨🤔
You read My Post..... I drive a Manual that I enjoy and I like Style that Tesla doesn't have with their EV's..
The sales tell the story, very few people are buying it
"Most people don't want to drive a spaceship," yet interestingly enough most people or interested in driving a cyberpunk vehicle strangely enough. I'll pass thank you.
I'm loving this.
Thanks for the comments. Let's see more videos like this on EVs. You two are great using the car as a studio. Keep up the good work.
people love them so much, they are being sold on every used car site in droves. I hope they do well, but not so far.
To @18:01 minutes, EVs are heavier and wear out the tires faster. EV tires have higher psi so the ride is very stiff.
you can Deflate model 3 tires for a Better ride.
I multiple times got stuck with my electric car/bike on 0% charge in the middle of nowhere and thats when a chiral printer comes in handy, i can create a charging port right in the radius where my car is and it charges wirelessly, people need to get inspiration from death stranding. Period XD
But with a Tesla you have a choice. Your can use a Tesla supercharger when you want or you can use Electify America or any other brand charger when they are solely available. That eTron doesn’t have that benefit
Guy is trying too hard to defend the lack of proper, convenient infrastructure. It is crazy to say your 70,000 to 80,000 car you can't use for long trips. Tesla had the whole package, not just the cars.
Nice and unbiased review! Thank you!
Why was he talking about having two cars like he can afford two that kinda put me off. Glad she corrected him.

Yay Emme! Del Taco is brining back the Turkey Taco on 1/02/20....no I don't work for them but I do have the nicest crew that's happy to feed me "the usual"....and I always tip!!
Many of our offices in Barbsdos have level 2 chargers. Plus public chargers.
6:54 It's funny...If you have a $70,000-$80,000 car like the E-Tron you better have another car with an ICE engine for those long road trip...because you can't go on a long trip with the E-Tron? Really...? That car is useless TBH if that's the case....
Ulises Jorge Bidó I can only talk for myself but the e-Tron is perfectly fine for long range travelling. I did a trip from Berlin to Rome and it took almost 17 hours. Only two and a half hours were charge time. I would have stopped anyways for a little break. Some people are just too scared to try out new things.
@@lorenzmuller4000 I have to agree with you; I don't know what kind of car reviewer would say such a thing and I hope that Audi never again lend them a vehicle for review. That was quite an ignorant statement.
Nice to have = A MUST FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next time just press the same button to open the charging door
Definitely an actual luxury compared to a Tesla much better everything interior wise Mileage definitely needs to be upgraded, But the Camera instead of a mirror still needs to be reworked screen is placed to low. At most $35 to charge to 80% I've seen in LA Which is less than have a tank for a Q5
Thank you for responding to my comments. I guess there is always the fact that home charging is the base case, but I still think it’s crazy to have something so nice for only local trips.
We just had a few arrive at the local dealer so I’ll have to try one out, still leaning towards a Model X so we can road trip with it, but I may change my mind lol. Happy New Year!
Winnyf1 I had a Model X until a year ago. It’s a great car, lots of space and it’s really fast. After that I bought the e-Tron and it’s completely different. The e-Tron is a little bit slower (still very quick compared to an ICE car), but VERY luxurious and comfortable. The build quality is stunning. The charge rate of the e-Tron is noticeably faster and more predictable. With enough charging stations the e-Tron is actually faster on road trips (because of the charge rate). If your family doesn’t need a seven seater you should wait for the e-Tron Sportback. It’s more efficient than the standard e-Tron especially at higher speeds, so basically the perfect vehicle for road trips.
The E-Tron is good because of German build quality. Tesla is horrific. The E-Tron can dc charge at 155 Kw. That means it's 20 minutes to charge from 10 percent to 80 percent. 40 minutes total to 100 percent. That's because of the battery buffer at the top. That's really smart thinking from Audi ,because people don t have to think about staying within the faster charging part of the battery. Tesla is a hour and forty minutes to supercharge to 100 percent. So you don't really do that on a road trip. You unplug at 70 percent.
Aaron Z An hour an 40 minutes to super charge? Clearly you don’t own a Tesla. Takes me less than 30 minutes to fully charge my Tesla. And with Tesla’s new version 3 charger, you get 75 miles of range in just 5 minutes.
My two faves in one video!!!!
Yaaa the Tesla is way better BANG for your buck! Cooler to.
No to the audi!!. The reason why people buy Tesla is because of the cheap charging and free supercharging if you have one of the higher end vehicle's. Just started? Not true, the Nissan leaf has been in the market for sometime but does not provide what consumers want. Similar issue with audi, no one is going to switch from gas to electric if it cost more... Tesla vehicles might have a higher cost, but the charging is free... Now you are talking about off hour? Sorry that is going to change soon. And solar? Another HIGH cost? 15 to 20k? Most consumer can not afford it. Another example of why consumers buy Tesla over other manufacturers. Free super chargering, cheap charging cost and the charging port does not get stuck.. I own a Audi A8 in the past, great car but too many issues. A big reason why I drive Toyota..
U guys are based in sf? Next time ur @ a car Meet, let us know.
Audi should change the rules for themselves and build their own fast DC charging network and keep prices low for its owners. Break the mode for its own business.
burlingame87 electrify America is owned by Volkswagen, who also owns Audi. The etron comes with 1000kw of free charging at EA stations.
Hi there, I prefer SUV’s to be more box shaped like Volvo’s XC90 rather then lifted station wagons as an Audi Allroad but unfortunately motorway driving kills EV’s range.
Is this car better than a Tesla? Well...no...not by any stretch of the imagination but it is to Audi luxury standards and that's saying a lot to luxury car buyers. Things can possibly only get better from here. That is if you're not the demanding type.
What’s the point of these videos when you low key try to make your viewers feel stupid after reading their comments?
